Butternut Middles School Girls Basketball vs. Ashland – 9/21/23

(Submitted by Coach Troy Scherwinski)

Butternut MSGBB teams hosted Ashland on Thursday looking to continue their winning streaks.

The JV led early on, but were outscored in both the 3^rd and 4^th quarters as Ashlond snuck away with a 20-16 win.  Ashland got a little more physical in the 2^nd half, and the Midgets became tentative on both ends of the floor as the Oredockers came from behind for the win. Khloe Radlinger and Bailey Pritzl both each had 4 points for the Midgets.

The 8^th grade team put on a defensive clinic in the first half and really started to look for each other on the offensive end as they raced out to a 21-6 half time lead.  They focused more on the slow down game in the second half and came away with a 27-6 win.  Gianna Nahring did a great job of hawking on defense and distributing the ball on offense as she led with 10 points and a number of assists.  Olivia Hamann had some great passes in transition and feeding inside.  Brooklyn Treml chipped in with 9 and double digit rebounds and block shots.  “It was the most aggressive and working together as a team on both ends of the floor as I’ve seen in a while.  I’m very proud of what we are doing right now.  Fun to watch.”
